'A Trip to the Moon' Review: Why Director George Melies is a Genius
I am a sucker for old silent movies. It is like taking a time machine to a different era of film making. If one went through all the films by each decade, starting as early as the 1920s, one could witness the history of cinema unfold before their eyes. I can easily find some old black and white films on Netflix, which how I came across a short film called A Trip to the Moon. This gem was released in the year 1902. I didn't even know movies were being made that early in time. In fact, the invention of what we know today as the "moving picture," came around the late 1800s. So upon discovering how old this particular silent film is, I, of course, had to watch it.

Classic Hits Are Turned into Epic Trailer Music
The standard for modern pop music usually involves some electronic beats and auto-tuned vocals. Then we have artists like J2 and Hidden Citizens who turn these pop hits into an epic score worthy of movie soundtracks. Classics such as "Lean on Me" or Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror"(which can be heard in the video above) are reproduced into what is called an epic trailer version. These epic versions have gained enough recognition to be used in promos for TV and films. Let us not forget the many views on YouTube!

'Wonder Woman' Campaigns for the Oscars, and She May Have a Chance at Winning!
Everyone can agree that Wonder Woman broke ground this year in cinema. The superhero film dominated the box office and shattered sexist stereotypes with its female-driven hero and director. So, it's no wonder that Warner Bros Studios is campaigning for Wonder Woman to be nominated for some Academy awards. Variety reported that the movie has entered in the Oscar ring for several categories, including Best Picture and Best Director for Patty Jenkins. Comic book movies are usually (and unfairly) over looked at the Oscars, but Wonder Woman may have a chance this time.

The 2016 election year has to be one of the craziest elections to date. Who knew that the host of The Apprentice would become the Republican candidate?

Game Of Thrones: These Board Games Should Have Their Own Movies
Board games bring people together and are fun to play. Part of the reason they're so fun is that they come with a simple narrative. For instance, Clue is a murder mystery set in an eerie mansion. This easy story was the basis for a 1985 film comedy starring Tim Curry and Christopher Lloyd. While the movie opened to a middling box office and mixed reviews, over time it became a firm cult classic that's now gearing up for a remake. Check out the original movie's trailer below.
